Steps to Replicate this Repository

Here's what I did to create this repository.

1. Make a GitHub account and create this repository
2. Login to Travis CI with GitHub account and enable builds on this repository
3. Install the Travis CI command line tool here
4. Follow these instructions. Essentially:

   1. Create an SSH key, replace <repo> with name of repository

      ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C '<repo>@travis-ci.org' -f ./deploy_rsa

   2. Add the public SSH key to your Pantheon user's SSH keys

   3. Use travis encrypt to add the key to the .travis.yml file

      travis encrypt-file deploy_rsa --add
      

   4. Delete the key since we don't need it anymore

      rm -f deploy_rsa deploy_rsa.pub
      

5. Commented code to installing LaTeX and build the PDFs are in .travis.yml and create.py
